for class enrollment. Classes will be cancelled up to 36 hours prior
to first class if there is insufficient enrollment. In this case,
you will be notified by phone. If you are enrolled in a class that
must be cancelled, the Customer Service staff will work with you
to find an alternate choice. If no alternate choice is satisfactory,
you will receive a full refund.

fees and payment plan fees are non-refundable. Refunds will not
be given to any student who is asked to withdraw from a class due
to disruptive behavior.

lesson for which you have contracted.
